Video has been released of the Jan. 18 knee-to-groin incident at the Hampton’s Vaudeville Cafe. Comedian Grant Lyon was there doing what comedians are supposed to do: Make people laugh.

In the audience, a group of professional wrestlers were heckling Lyon during his bit, yelling things like, “I’ll buy you a beer … Not!” and holding up a piece of paper reading “no” after each of his jokes.

After a while, Lyon countered with a bit of heckling of his own:

“The comics laughed at that because they know how much I want to kick you in the god—- teeth right now. That’s not even a joke. I mean, I’m not going to because you f—— fight for a living, but let’s be honest. You *think* fight for a living.”

At that point, one of the wrestlers, now identified as “Nature Boy” Paul Lee, got in Lyon’s face, muttered something and kneed him in the groin. Lee later told Laughspin.com that he was just clowning around, but Lyon didn’t think so.

“I was legitimately angry when he kneed me, which is why you don’t hear me say anything for like 10 seconds,” he told Laughspin. “I was considering throwing a punch, but I knew I’d get destroyed.”

During the standup bit, Lyon managed to get one last shot at Lee before he closed the night.

“I’m so glad I filmed this one because the Internet is going to be happy with me. For you (Lee) it’s going to be like ‘Blond lady boy goes for the n—.’ That’s going to be the title.”
